2011 so far...
9th-14th- Cruise to Cabo San Lucas. Yes we joined David &Melissa on their honeymoon :) they asked!lol
i did get sick the first day at sea.food poisoning.yuk! but the cruise was so fun! Next is Disney Cruise!!! :)Disney College Program!
I had known about the Disney College Program since i was a junior in high school and I had always dreamt about participating in the program and getting my foot in the door with the company and now opportunity was knocking at my door...
(shown above: my sister Jessica, my Nina :) &me)*I am telling you some people may dream to become singers and actresses...my dream was to work at Disneyland...and though in the back of my mind I never really thought I would, I just thought it was just a dream I had...and now that dream was becoming a reality.*
So I then decided that I would stop going to school and just focus on the college program and continue school after it was all done. So I did...Anyways....my first class that I took was called Blended Learning Series and was basically just a fun class that taught us about how the company started (which I already knew...cuz I am kinda obsessed with Disney lol) and we did some group games and teambuilding skills. One of the games we did was we had to get into groups of about 5 (there was about 40 students) and we were given a sheet with about 30 characters on it and the mission was to correctly name each one and be the first team to do so! *sidenote---there was this girl in my class that thought she knew everything about Disney, and let me tell you yes she knew a lot some things that I didnt know...but she was the annoying-thought she knew it all-talkative-type...and it just bugged me...and she was just saying that this game was gonna be easy and her team was gonna win...and so I couldn't let that happen...I had to show her that she ain't the only one that knew stuff---* Long story short...my team won! and way ahead of hers too! booyaaah!! lol She was mad cuz she didn't win and I gotta say seeing her reaction when my team thanked me for knowing the characters was so worth it! haha it was fun. Another fun activity we did was a scavenger hunt in the park (Disneyland) in groups. And let me tell you that stuff was hard! we had to count the orbiting planets around the Astro Orbitors ride...things like that.but it was lots of fun running around and guests looking at us like we're crazy! :) My team didn't win, but nobody won so it was cool.lol...Overall that class was just fun.we voluntEARed.played games.&did scavenger hunts!
The second class was Marketing You. I learned how to do my resume correctly and how to market myself when it comes to interviews and being in the workplace. This class taught me a lot about myself, time management, interview strategies and how to work with different personalities when it comes to teamwork.
The third class I took was Speaker Series. This class taught me a lot about the different roles there are around the resort and the company.Basically any major can fit working for Disney. I knew I picked the right company to work for lol. We heard from an Imagineer, horitculture cast members, vice president of the resort, entertainment (Mickey Mouse was there! It was the best! He waved at me! *sigh*), finance cast members, managers, downtown disney manager...etc. All their roles sounded so cool! But the one that stuck out to me was Imagineer...now there are different parts of Imagineering...the one that I liked was visuals, so basically they decorate the parks-from bathroom signs to the giant christmas tree that is put up! Its the creativity and the attention to detail that made me fall more in love with Disney and to be a part of that would be great! :)
The other job I want is CEO of the Walt Disney Company...but gotta go one step at a time here...
Oh! And since starting the College Program the role I got was working in the stores in Disneyland...New Orleans/Critter Country being my home lands :)
Anywho...then before I knew it time had come to graduate from the Disney College Program!
(Me and Mickey Mouse...i may have looked a lil scared but i promise i wasn't.i love him!!)
(My family--I couldn't do any of this without them.They keep me going...going crazy too but i love them every one of them with all my heart and I really dont know where I would be without them.)
(My Mom&Dad--Where do I begin with these two people...they keep me grounded and I never forget where I came from and who raised me. I love them without a doubt. They support me in everything I do...even when I thought it was crazy! My dreams they believe in as much as I do even if they pretend to I appreciate it. They mean the world to me. I love you guys from the moon and back!)
(Danny--this guy supports me too! Even when I said I didn't wanna be a surgeon anymore and just Disney...he said Ok...He continues to stand beside me through whatever I choose to do with my life and believes in me. He knows how much this means to me and constantly tells me he's happy that I love what I do. I love you...til infinity &beyond.--During the college program I was able to:

5. My dream car still is a Ford Mustang. :) but i will stick with my Jeep.
6. I want to move to Anaheim, CA by the end of the year.
7. I can't stand when people mistaken Anastasia for a Disney movie! Its not! Or even mistaking Spongebob for being Disney, it's on a whole different network people!!
8. I have never been the kind of person who is emotional, i tend to be more guarded, but that all changed a couple of years ago (Danny made me more of a girl) &i now am more comfortable crying in front of people since my Nina talked to me about not keeping my emotions hidden and not to be like her in that way, cuz its ok to cry &show your feelings. thanks Nina :) &Danny:)
9. I can't sleep with socks on. I feel like my feet are claustrophobic.
10. I like to play Halo3 on Xbox 360.
11. My favorite movie is Dirty Dancing...Johnny!!
12. I can't watch Armageddon, makes me cry every time!
13. I have always wanted to work at Disneyland &I can't believe that dream is finally coming true...guess dreams really do come true.
14. I believe in following your dreams no matter what people may tell you &no matter how crazy it may sound. I am following my dream &I am glad to have those I love still standing beside me.
15. I have to pee a lot during the day...i can't help it my body just filters fast!
16. I am opinionated. Sarcastic. &Say things very bluntly...sometimes people think its rude, but its the truth i tell ya!
17. I love saying Disney movie quotes, especially to those that understand my language. lol"even though you tried to terminate me revenge is not an idea we promote on my planet.." "oh well that's good" "but we aren't on my planet, are we?!"
18. I hate people that snore! Or breathe loud! I tend to throw shoes at you if you snore near me...ask my sister she will tell you.
19. I think the Twilight series is GAY!!! How could you people really read through that crap! I made myself read the first book just to see what the big deal was about...uhhh people get a life...James Patterson is the best author out there!
20. Foods: hate vegetables!!ugh! disgusting!...I love pasta (without the creamy sauce), tacos (mmm...taco place in LA), milk &water &orange juice! does a body good.I will drink milk with anything!
21. My parents have always kept me going in whatever i do &very supportive in my dreams (no matter how crazy they may seem) & i am blessed to have them as my parents, even though sometimes I can't stand them but I guess that's how it works between kids &their parents.
22. I have a crazy chocolate lab named Charlie &i love her so much! She's my baby. (but never replacing my guinea pig Henry RIP, totally different animals :)
23. I have a Goddaughter Arielle. She might dorky &a lil strange but she means the world to me...no matter how far apart we are!
24. I never thought I would be at peace with my Nina gone, but I truly believe she is happy &did what she had to do here on Earth. She knows how much I loved her, we didn't have to say it to each other. The bond I shared with her will always be with me &the wisdom she shared I will always remember. I am so very much thankful to God that I spent 20 years of my life with the strongest, loving and best Nina I have ever known; because of her (&my parents) i am a strong person today & I am blessed to have had her in my life.
25. I never thought I would be the one between my sister &I to have a long term relationship, &i know many people thought so too, especially one that's lasted 4 years (&yes 4 yrs, we did not start over in counting months, &yes I love him very much &nobody can change that)
